"Is this how it started?”

Stefano’s life has been deflating at an alarming rate. First he had to drop out of college because his grades were shit and he ran out of money. Then his girlfriend dumped him for someone with a “real” future. And now his art is getting… weird. And he doesn’t know why.

But at least there’s always the Drip & Draft, campus’ most popular cafe and source for craft beer. At least they didn’t turn him out when he was no longer a student. At least he can still pay the bills while he searches for a paying audience for his increasingly unhinged paintings. At least he has a reason to leave the apartment.

And that… is when you show up.

TW: mental health issues (predominantly depression), side-character mention of schizophrenia in the backstory, self-deprecating use of the word “crazy”

Marked Dead Dove just in case.

Yet another man for you to enjoy!

I love me a good barista romance. This poor guy’s got some issues, but he really just needs a hug and someone to believe in him.

Also, he has a lovely cat named Arnie. If we ever get media allowances back in the descriptions, I’ll come back and put a picture of Arnie, but for now, he lives in the theatre of the mind ✨

I highly recommend giving yourself a lil backstory in the chat memory to improve chat experience, especially if you, like me, only use the JLLM.

FAQ

1) I can't help it if JLLM is having a moment. Reroll and hope for the best, idk what to tell you.

2) Any downvotes that are just for trolling purposes will be deleted. I genuinely welcome constructive criticism though.
